Tattered Past

Friday, September 17, 2010

This is exciting to me. When my husband looked kind of blank about my plans and then asked me why this was a big deal I didn't really have an answer for him. On further thought I've decided it is an affirmation. I decided to do a blog and I've stuck with it. I've had a certain amount of success in positive comments and I enjoy it. The blog has opened up new possibilities and visions for me. I look at the world a little differently.

As promised I am having a giveaway. Everybody who leaves a comment to this post before Tuesday, September 21will be entered into a drawing. I will put all the names into a hat and draw one lucky winner.

So please, spread the word, if you aren't a follower please become one. Help me celebrate this blogging milestone. With your support there will be more to come. I dreamed for a long time about having a blog. I've dreamed most of my life about becoming a writer and an artist. Dreams come true but only if there are supportive people around you.

Congrats Rita on your 100th post. And please don't put me in for the drawing as you know I'm weeding out. So please send me your check and your mailing address so I can get your box in the mail. I will fix you up with sweet goodies. Thanks, Mollye

Yay! Congratulations Rita!!! That is fabulous and I love your blog. I thought I was already a follower. I wasn't but I am now! You are following your dreams and that is to be admired and honored. I am proud to be one of your online friends. xoxo

Rita, Congratulations on your 100th post. I am excited to be a new follower and am looking forward to getting to know your blog. The Lillian Russell tag is gorgeous. I love the delicious colors!Best wishes,Mollie

Congratulations on your 100th post and for keeping up your blog...I'm scared to even attempt one as I'm not a tech geek. I don't have a scanner to upload photos and don't really know how to post the photos to share my art work. So good for you for sticking with it.

Congratulations!! I joined the Soul Journaling group not too long ago and am so glad I did. I had no idea there were groups of people that really had the same interests and feelings as I did. I've just skimmed a couple of your posts and am very glad to have found it. Keep up the excellent work. Very inspiring!

Remember the Bee Gees song....I started a joke, that started the whole world laughing? (I'm singing as I write this) Well, I started a blog, and have been remiss at writing in it. So your post made me want to return to my blog and blog, blog, blog away. Thanks for the incentive and congratulations on 100! Awesome.

Hi Rita!I just found your blog through your post at the yahoogroup, Soul journaling! Congratulations on your 100th post! I love the inspiration that can be found on the "net" and I'm glad I found your blog!Take it easyLotuslootsvele@yahoo.com

I think beyond the notion of an affirmation, you are participating inherently in creating community, and community of your choosing and design. I know for me, as I more fully grow into myself this is important. Glad to have found your blog!

As a fellow blogger I understand just how you feel. Maintaining a blog takes some determination and the words don't always flow. Or the words do flow but there's nothing to show! What surprises me is how some people, folks I've never met, become so important to me. I care about what they say, I care about their accomplishments and I worry about them when life throws them curves.

Congratulations on owning the affirmation of your efforts here...came here from the SoulJourney yahoo group and I'm having such a great time visiting other people's inspirations!!! Very nice too of you for the chance of the giveaway.

Congratulations on your 100th. post, Rita! Don't worry, my husband gives me 'kinda blank' looks all the time, but I get it. I want to start a blog; I even have a blog page set up (if that's the correct wording) but I've never posted because I don't know how? My daughter helped me get my page/name but she lives out of state...anyway, you post has encouraged me to figure it out and START. I'm now following you and maybe someday you'll be following me. I wish you continued success and many blessings!

YAY Rita! I just helped another art buddy on the Western Slope (Colorado) start a blog - her glee was gratifying, but how will I feel when she gets to her 100th post? Keep going your blog is a contribution to many of us. thanks. Lori from Sketchbook
